A remarkable — even for trump excesses — is the announcement that his "TruthSocial" social- media site, which is attached to the stock DJT, will now be selling something called "API", a subscription service @ $100,000/mo giving subscribers an "instant" access to any and all posts by trump which may materially affect market movements, once quaintly known as "insider information". So far, deemed. "legal", a word doing some heavy lifting here, and an obvious effort to revive DJT's flagging market performance.
No ceiling for grifting opportunities, nor a floor for blatantly self-interested activity, even that bordering on criminality.
I do not understand the obsession with gambling. I assume it is an addiction, just like alcohol and drugs. Our society should be helping people to avoid or heal from it, not encouraging it. I keep thinking of the original Star Trek episode, "The Gamesters of Triskelion."

Thank you Mark. The truth is hard to hear. ( understatement)
